suffer big-time. this is not a threat. this is the reality. just look and see what's happened to other countries around the world. our credit will suffer because we won't be able to pay our bills and don't pay bills and people get mad. especially the ones that are holding bonds and other things expecting government to pay those things. it's going to hurt the financial institutions. it's going to send markets on their heels and in the process america could be in very bad shape. that's the kind of thing that they are talking about today in very serious mode at the white house. >> they are very much thinking about august 2nd. that's the deadline. what happens if we miss it? >> in fact, kris, you have to get this together ten days before that. what people don't realize is there are not just four, eight or ten people in the president's office. there are hundreds of people right now with different programs trying to make this work. they have got to have time to analyze it. >> okay. all right. we also have more of larry's political insights any time

that was a big story but not nearly as big as what happened to the two-time defending germany. a scoreless game against japan and in extra time, she outran the defense and let one fly from the corner. this would be the game's only goal and handed germany its first loss in the world cup tournament in 12 years. germany's last loss was to the us in 1999. the germans are eliminated, japan moves on to the semifinals to meet the winner of sweden against australia. >>> the earthquakes did something tonight they seem to specialize in recently. the quake finished in a scoreless tie with the philadelphia union. they're 5, 6 and 7 on the season and three from the bottom in the western conference. >>> stage 8 of the tour de france which hit the mountains for the first time. the 117-mile stage. the winner was from portugal. the yellow jersey still belongs to a man from norway. he was one second in front of evans of australia. >>> that will do it for this saturday night edition of sports wrap. see you again tomorrow at 5:00. >> see you then. thanks, joe. >> that's going to be our report for
